Pursuing a Healthy Lifestyle One Laugh At a Time

Banana Oat Greek Yogurt Muffins

No flour?! No wheat?! But these are sooooo good!

Guys. I’m not gluten-free, but I have a sister that is gluten-intolerant, and I’ve tried TONS of recipes that are supposed to be gluten-free copy-cats of the real thing. Most of them are dry, crumbly, and downright gross.

Once I tried to be sweet and make some homemade gluten-free sandwich bread for her. It didn’t really come across that way, considering the result was a dry mess that fell apart when she cut into it. Of course, it’s very possible that my baking skills were inept, but I let the recipe take the blame.

These are amazing! They are so moist and delicious I could probably eat the whole batch. And then be rolling on the ground miserable…but from a full stomach, not the muffins themselves.

These muffins came from the glorious blog Running with Spoons. I only made a half batch, but that was probably a good thing so I didn’t eat it all. I mean, these are pretty good for you, but portion control is a thing too.

Ingredients:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 ripe bananas

2 eggs

2 cups rolled oats (old fashioned or quick)

¼ cup brown sugar

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ cup chocolate chips, mini or regular (I used dark chocolate)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a muffin pan or prepare paper cups.

Throw everything except for the chocolate chips into a blender or food processor and process on high until batter is smooth and creamy. It reminds me of pancake batter consistency. Stir in chocolate chips by hand.

Pour batter into muffin pan, filling each cavity until ¾ full. I sprinkled a few chocolate chips on top of each muffin for looks.

Bake 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Let muffins cool for around 10 minutes before removing. Store in air-tight container up to a week…if they last that long.
